Bai Zhongqi looked at it coldly, Liu Daku paced over, picked up a big silver ingot, looked at it carefully, and said: "It's high-grade gold and silver, full of fineness." You don't need to put it in another box, after recording the weight, you can directly put it into the warehouse and seal it! ”

After that, he took a pen and wrote the words 'Ten Percent' on a piece of paper, and told Kudin to stick it on the box.

"Yes!" The two kuddings answered.

This box of silver alone is worth 1,350 taels! Twenty-seven and fifty taels of silver ingots.

After Bai Zhongqi and Liu Daku looked at it, the two Kuding behind the table carried the box into the arsenal gate.

It is said to be an arsenal, but in fact, the Rock Fort is just a warehouse, whether it is food, armor, saddles, weapons, clothing, clothing, cloth, etc., all materials are stored here, but not only armament.

This arsenal is a big mansion, covering an area of a very wide area, I am afraid that there will be no two or three acres of land round, the front and back three courtyards, there are east across the courtyard, west across the courtyard, and the back house, the front garden, etc., everything is available, I don't know which Xuanhe character's mansion at the beginning.

The front yard is the office space. The west courtyard is for silver coins, and the east courtyard is for storing armor and equipment. The large number of wings in the atrium, as well as all the houses in the backyard, were used to store grain. There is not a lot of storage in each room, which is also to prevent fires.

The two soon came out. **a**Reading** The threshold of the arsenal of the novel is particularly high, and on the outside of the threshold, there is a crossbar, about one foot three inches above the ground.

The two of them squatted down, stretched their legs, and jumped over the crossbar, and then stood in front of the crossbar, raised their hands high, and lifted it three times in succession. Then he raised his hands and clapped them against each other, and he clapped them three times. Then he opened his mouth wide again and shouted: "Lord Dong's martial arts are prosperous, and the prince is Wandai!" ”

Then the two of them strode down and stood behind the table again.

Dong Ce couldn't help but look stunned, and asked with a smile: "What kind of mystery is this?" ”

Wang Tong and the others all looked at each other, and they didn't know it, Wang Yu's mind turned quickly, and he quickly ran to Liu Daku's side and asked him in a low voice.

For such an opportunity to show his face in front of adults, Liu Daku naturally would not let it go, and hurriedly trotted over all the way and kowtowed in front of Dong Ce. Dong Ce saw the panic on his face, and knew that he had lingering palpitations about the events of that day, so he also smiled and comforted a few words: "Get up, tell this official, what's going on?" ”

Liu Daku hurriedly responded and said, "My lord doesn't know, this is to prevent these kudin from making mistakes." ”

To prevent them from making mistakes, to put it bluntly, is to prevent them from stealing, but if they are caught stealing, it will not only be a loss of employment, but also a disaster for their families, which is indeed a self-mistake. So that's not wrong.

As the saying goes, wealth moves people's hearts, and black eyes can't see white silver. According to the inheritance of the 'treasury management industry' for thousands of years, generally speaking, there are some conventions in the official treasury. Take Taicang silver as an example, the warehouse where Taicang silver was stored in the Ming Dynasty was directly subordinate to the household department, usually managed by a member of the foreign lang or Langzhong, and the following were specifically responsible for the work, and there were many people such as the secretary and the walker. Further down is Kudin.

According to the rules, Kudin can enter the warehouse, but the book can't. Why not let them in? It's because they're readers! Can't you get in? Because the status of the scholars in the Ming Dynasty was too high, their temper was too bad, and they were too capable of tossing. And there are some rules that must be followed in and out of the warehouse, which will be regarded as a humiliation by these high-ranking scholars, so simply don't let them in.

The Kudins are not well paid, they do a lot of work, and they go out with mountains of gold and silver in their hands every day, can they not be moved?

In order to prevent them from stealing, it was not enough for them to change into the kind of short 'overalls' that did not even have a trouser belt, according to the rules, when they came out of the storeroom, they had to cross the bench, or jump the crossbar, and then raise their hands, clap their hands, and shout, so as to show that they did not have any silver in their bodies, armpits, hands, or mouths.

You ask those people who read books to do this, where are they willing?

Liu Daku has been managing the warehouse for many years, and he has seen a lot of these messy things, and he has a lot of experience, and he has heard a lot of people say that he can formulate so many methods. Speaking of which, it is also enough to lose.

"Oh, I see."

After listening to Liu Daku's words, Dong Ce suddenly remembered some interesting secrets.

Dong Ce smiled and asked: "You have so many ways to prevent it, what about the silver hidden in the valley road and the silver hidden in the teapot?" And how to deal with it? ”

Liu Daku's face turned on the side, showing a shocked and surprised expression, and he fell to the ground again, and said in a loud voice: "My lord is really a pedantic and a man who reads poetry and books, but he even knows such a strange thing?" ”

Dong Ce smiled faintly, ignored his sycophants, glanced at the people around him, and saw that most of them were dazed, so he said, "Liu Daku, can you tell everyone!" ”

"Huh." Liu Daku replied and said, "This teapot hides silver, needless to say, all adults know it." As for the valley road......"

With a lewd smile on his face, he pointed to the butt of a cudding, and said, "The adult who loves to walk through the back door must know that this is the place where people shit." ”

Zhou Zhong was stunned and shouted, "How can silver be hidden in that place?" ”

Wang Tong smiled: "Even if you can hide the silver, how can you bring it out?" ”

Yelu Lihe looked at the three inches under his abdomen, and laughed: "It depends on how big the silver is, the girl who was opened by me opened the back door can hide a hundred taels of silver." ”

This remark made everyone laugh.

Dong Ce didn't know much about the situation at this time, but he thought it was much the same. The 'teapot Tibetan silver' and the valley road Tibetan silver are the two great tricks of the Kuding to steal the treasury silver in the late Qing Dynasty.

One of them is the silver hidden in the valley. The so-called Gudao Tibetan silver is to stuff the silver into the place commonly known as the anus, the chrysanthemum, and the back door, and then bring it out. This is not an easy task, this kung fu, just like practicing martial arts, is practiced little by little, boiled out.

It is said that when practicing, it is first small and then large, first stuffed with boiled small quail eggs, and after getting used to it, it is replaced with eggs, then upgraded to duck eggs, and finally upgraded to goose eggs. After stuffing it in, it is not a matter of a while and a half, but to pay attention to the word 'hold', you have to hold it for a day, and you can't leak it out, which is qualified. So even this thing has to have a bit of perseverance.

But there is a pay, there is a gain, after practice, at most at a time, you can put a ingots of eighty taels of silver into it, and then hold it as if nothing happened, jump the crossbar or cross the bench to come out, change your clothes, and then go home, and then pull out the ingots of silver.

It's as unbelievable as it can be, but it's true.

Of course, before you stuff it, you have to polish the outside of the silver with lard to make it slippery and slippery, so that you can stuff it in. Speaking of which, this eighty-tael silver may not really be as thick as a goose egg when horizontally.

Of course, there are hard practices, and there are also opportunistic methods. It is said that there is a pharmacy in the old Beijing East Fourth Archway that dispenses a kind of "secret recipe for opening the valley", as soon as this potion is poured into it, the place becomes very loose, like a sack, and it is easily stuffed in. But the side effects of this potion are also very great, and you can only use it once in a lifetime, and if you have more, it will be wasted there. To use a technical term, it's called anal prolapse.

However, there is also a defect in the silver hidden in this valley road, firstly, the old people are loose there, and they can't use it. The second is that it can be used in summer, but not in winter.

So, in winter, the teapot Tibetan silver comes into play.

According to the rules, when the teapot in it is brought out, you have to put the mouth down to see if there is any entrainment. But in winter, when the temperature is low, put silver in it and put water in it, and the silver will freeze and stick to it, so naturally it can't be controlled.

That's a clever trick too.

Dong Ce said: "To guard against the teapot hiding silver, simple, as long as the rules are set, you are not allowed to bring any objects into it privately, if you want to drink water, there must be a big bowl in it, and there is a stove in it, and you can burn it yourself." ”

"As for Gu Dao's hidden silver!"

He pondered for a moment and said, "Kuding who came out in the future will squat at the gate for a cup of tea, but the official doesn't believe it, can he still hold it in such a situation?" ”

Liu Daku hurriedly said a flood of words: "My lord is wise! ”

Dong Ce waved his hand: "Go back on an errand!" ”

There were too many materials, and it took more than three hours to count, and it was not until the day was about to light that the statistics were completed.

The front is silver, and the back is grain, cloth and other materials, and the statistics are even more cumbersome. Like silk, it has to be classified, and some of them don't even know Liu Daku, so they have to mark it as unknown, and then put it together.

Looking at the white silver, the big bags of grain, the silk satin, the silk cloth, and the big cattle and carts, Li Gui and the others looked very excited.

They don't know how these things came about, but they know that the adults led the family team to exterminate a group of bandits and robbed them, as for the process, the origin, the origin and other details, they don't know anything.

In fact, the only people who know the whole ins and outs may be Wang Tong and Shi Jin, after all, they have seen Qiu Ping and Liu Facheng. Even Zhou Zhong Dong Ce didn't tell him, he was young after all, and the city government was a little shallower. As for Li Gui, now they have turned to the civilian aspect, and Dong Ce does not plan to involve them much in future military operations. Su Dacheng strode over, his face was full of excitement, he held two pieces of paper in his hand, and handed them to Dong Ce recently, and he was a little trembling when he spoke: "My lord, the statistics are out, take a look!" ”
